I would have told them they where not putting that tire on my van. ALL TIRES come with a road hazard warranty from the factory. Tire stores just choose to charge you extra for them. Sales guys will swear they don't..... Honor among thieves......

Just wondering if there might be an external factor to the failures.
It does seem that in today's maximum profit mentality, that manufacturers are relying their on former good reputations and cutting corners wherever they can.
Maximum profit trumps pride in quality these days. | | | Re: Bad Luck strikes again | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 old hand | old hand Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 753 | I would expect more out of BFG's. Breaking it down 6 times had to contribute to it.
When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?
